Kinda silly question,
(but i think it should be asked since I think the gain on my E7 on max volume - 60 - is slightly inadequate to my usage).
The picture on E7 LOD design showed "62" volume level, is it just a typo error? Or FiiO is thinking about developing the E7?
Maybe increasing max volume limit,
or making it available to increase the limit in LOD mode?
Just wondering
Quote:
Techincally it would be impossible to further increase the gain without major change in hardware. At max volume, E7 is at the maximum gain possible for the power amp used inside (LO mode is the same). Even if you can add another one or two steps in firmware, you will still face the problem of distortion.

BTW, we will start to ship L6 ( for Sansa DAP ) from now, and L7 (for our E7) will be released soon!

As far as I know (I have discussed with James about volume control before), FiiO did not have any volume limiter on E7. Volume on E7 is done digitally by adjusting the gain of the power amp section, so at max volume you get about the max gain the power amp can do, which is somewhere b/w 3.5 ~ 4.
About LO, I think I have described it wrongly in my previous post: In LO, you get the maximum output from the DAC, not the amp section. So it should not be that same as the max gain on power amp (again, around 3.5~4x), but what defined in the DAC spec (WM8740). Since the amp has around 4x gain in max volume, there is possible that in the DAC LO is only 1/4 the maximum volume (zero gain) when compared to the the headphone-out.
The big problem is not every sales agent like to sell our LOD! In fact, hard to make money from it . I will try to connect our sales agent in Australians first!
The retail price is depend on our agents! but is should be the same as L3!
